Need help using a ps2 controller

Alright, so I have the usb adapter, I appear to have all of the correct drivers including the drivers that enable the rumble feature, but my games do not seem to recognize my controller. The reason I want to do this is because I would LOVE to use my beloved emerald green PS2 controller to play some of my games. I have DS3 for my ps3 controller, but DS3 doesn't support ps2 controllers. I have tried a lot of things, but nothing has seemed to work so far. Anybody got any ideas?

I direct you to the link in my signature about how to make almost any game think your controller is an Xbox 360 controller, thus giving it the compatibility with games that it has. Although it does a lot more than that.

ok it seems to be working but I have the slight problem that whenever the left vibration motor kicks in windows stops recognizing it for about half a second before reconnecting and working fine. A bit of a strange problem, but Im going to open it up and see if any of the motor's solder points are bad. 

 

Edit: just checked it out, the board is fine. The controller only disconnects when both motors are rumbling at 100%. I'm starting to think it is somehow a sofware problem, although it could just be a bad usb cable because that is how I am connecting my controller.

 

(lol third edit): Yeah the disconnecting is definately software level. I'll look into it.
